A Hand-Coded Designer CSS UI Kit
Web UI sets have been around for ages, but this takes things a step further. This free UI Kit is coded by hand using HTML5 and CSS3 so you can easily drop these elements into any project you’re working on. This code is made to take advantage of modern browsers and to degrade gracefully in older versions of internet explorer, so no matter what your client or visitor is using they will be see an excellent design.
Most major web elements are included—buttons, tables, headings, etc—and each of these is done in six color variations. Just pick the element you need, insert a few lines of CSS, and copy the HTML elements into your document. Full preview and instructions are below.

A screenshot of UI set is below, but to really see what this looks like you should take a look at the live preview.
How to Use
This HTML5 UI kit uses very few tweaks to work in all browsers and you can get started in just three steps.
Internet Explorer Compatibility
First, there are two important files that must be included for internet explorer to understand the HTML5 tags. You’ll need to paste the following lines into your header to make this work in IE:
<!--[if IE]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="ie.css" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->
Include the CSS
Either copy the specific lines of CSS that you require from the included stylesheets, or just include the entire file. It’s up to you 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="reset.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="ml-css-ui-kit.css" type="text/css" />
Insert the HTML
Finally, just pick the elements that you want to include and insert the included HTML into your existing document.
<div class="button-wrapper">
<a href="#" class="button light">Lorem ipsum</a>
</div>
That’s it! Your new design elements should now be displaying beautifully.

Great work, thanks for sharing
This is really awesome! I’d like to use the buttons for my blog, but I’m not sure what to do first. Am I supposed to upload the files using FTP to my server first before linking them into the header and blog stylesheet? (sorry, I’m a noob at this haha!)
Thanks!
Hi Stefanie, there are lots of different ways to implement the buttons depending how you’re used to using CSS, it does help if you have a bit of experience with CSS of course but the easiest way to do it is to upload the image and css files to your host, link to the css files in your header and copy and paste the button sections from the demo.html file into your existing site.
Let us know if you have any issues and we’ll try our best to help you resolve them
Thanks Tony for the quick response! I’ll give it a shot and will let you know if I encounter any problems.

On Safari at least, search fields and password boxes don’t clear on first entry. So you have to select all and delete or you’re typing somewhere in the middle of “Your search terms”. Not a huge problem, but not how any other search box works.
